I payed extra for this bluetooth, and the echo is unbareable to the person on the other side. I turned the volume all the way down on the unit, and on my phone. And either they can still hear themselves talking, or I can't hear a word they are saying.

I have a Bose Surround Sound system in my silverado, don't know if that has anything to do with it. I have tried relocating the mic from the top of the windshield to in the cieling in the OnStar mic location. A little better, but still annoying.

Anyone?

have you tried anything in these threads?

Sorry, I literally just created an account on here 5 minutes before i posted that. I guess I should have done a bit of searching before i posted

Sorry about that, I bet that gets annoying

No big it happens alot here.

with a little tinkering I have all but eliminated the echo problem with my Z2

Hopefuly I dont have a hit put on me...

but how do i remove my phone form the system?? I read somewhere that i can adjust the volume lower by removing my phone from the system, turning it down and then relinking it to the Z1

I believe you have to do a reset. if that does not work try moving the mic

I uploaded that bluetooth fix, i reset my system and turned everything down like suggested, re-paired the phone.... absolutly no progress. Still loud as crap, still echoing like a stadium

I'm getting my money back for the bluetooth, it's worthless

Unless anyone else has any friendly suggestions

go into your settings and change your speaker from left/right to just right that might help

How do I do that?? I do not see that in the options/settings menu on my Z1

under AV settings/ then to system settings/ then to guidance box on lower middle

found it, it's still annoyingly loud. I have both the volume on my phone and Z1 turned all the way down.

is there something I'm just not realizing? I have had this system for a good 6 months now, and I have never been able to use it because of the echo due to the volume. You'd think they would have fixed it on the Z2 and used a closed circuit mic, so when the speakers pipe out the other person's voice, the mic shuts off

Are u sure you did the fix right. This fix has cured alot of these issues. Did you turn your speaker volume down under the nav menu?

i went in to the volume menu and turned phone voice to the lowest possible one... is that what you mean?

yes, where is your mic

in the ceiling, directly above my head (where the OnStar mic goes)

Thank you very much for helping me out with this by the way. It is ust frustrating me beyond belief

back to the update, did you go throught the process then reboot

yeah, i put it in, hit map, ran the program, went through to 100% it rebooted itself.... didnt seem to help

hmmm................is your music completely muted during calls?

i had it playing somehting out of the library... i can hear it very faint, but i just paused it and then didnt hear anything

there is a bit of static right when i connect the call... just a constant light hum

normal?

try this as a test for the mic to cut off the high frequiences. Move the mic to above your visor. Get a thin fabric like a sock or thin piece of linen. Put it over your mic and try a phone call. This will let me know if the mic is too sensitive also make your music completely mute during calls in the av settings

covered it with a thin piece of cloth, moved it back up to the windshield.... made 2 phone calls. 1st one, my dad could hear like 1 out of every 5 words he was saying... but then the louder he talked, the worse it got

the 2nd phone call was to my brother who i have used as my "call test dummy" throughout this whole thing.... said it has gotten "a little better" but not much, he hears every other word he says

You turned the volume down on the deck and the phone, and its still loud? You using a bose adaptor?

i have the bose system yes. I had everything professionally installed.

I turn both the Z1 "phone voice volume" and the "ear piece volume" on my phone all they way to their lowest settings... still loud

makes NO sense

with the phone voice volume, if i turn it down to 0 bars, nothing... if i put it to the first notch, it's as if i turned my radio up volume 5 or 6... thats how loud it is

and i keep reading all of these other posts of people saying... they used the level 3 reset and that bluetooth fix and it works perfectly now... and that's pissing me off
